No charges for 151 Arizona votes vetted over fraud claims
Associated PressPHOENIX — A review of potential voter fraud cases in the 2020 general election in Arizona’s second-largest county ended Friday with an announcement by prosecutors that none of the 151 cases they reviewed merited criminal charges. The announcement by the Pima County Attorney’s Office closes the book on more than 2/3 of all the cases of potential voter fraud that were being reviewed by election officials and prosecutors across Arizona. An Associated Press investigation found fewer than 200 cases of potential fraud in Arizona had been identified until last week, when elections officials in the state’s most populous county, Maricopa, said they had discovered 38 potential voting fraud cases during an exhaustive review of 2.1 million ballots. The AP review has now found that across Arizona’s 15 counties, the total number of potential voter fraud cases from the 2020 presidential election, including Pima County’s 151 now-closed cases, sat at 230 out of 3.4 million ballots cast statewide.
